STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 5:
DELIVER IMPACTFUL INNOVATION BY COLLABORATING WITH INDUSTRY, BUSINESS, THE GOVERNMENT, AND THE COMMUNITY ON RESEARCH PROJECTS
Effective research requires collaboration between academic institutions, across disciplines, and with the public and private sectors. Disciplines or research groups that meet or overlap frequently produce outstanding research innovation. Additionally beneficial to teaching, research collaboration can enhance a university’s and its staff’s reputation.
| Strengths | Weaknesses | Opportunities | Threats |
| • Effective and Useful Studies of the World’s Highest State Investments in Science and Engineering • Excellent Creativity and Beneficial Contributions to Effective Teaching • a sizable interest in higher education studies and an educational system that is both well-developed and financially stable • Boost Collaborative Results and encourage dissemination of researchspecific information • High levels of industrial sector innovation capacity and established worldwide scientific links • Developed research, an educational system that is financially secure, and a communication infrastructure • There is no overarching framework for the various disciplines at a university, and there are many different types of collaboration |
• unwillingness to accept and integrate foreigners • local academic and industrial researchers • Publications from Kurdish academic institutes are cited very infrequently. • Low levels of multidisciplinary and interdepartmental collaboration • inadequate administrative and technical support • fewer women work as scientists |
• bigger than the elements taken separately • Boost the standing of researchers in their field of study • Become a world leader or continue to play that position • introducing a compensation system that takes into account both the quantity of papers produced and their effects on the national economy • demonstrating a research strategy that involves external collaboration • becoming more significant as a success indicator • promoting the partnerships between industry and academics, which are already on the • taking the entire planet to a new level |
• Poor technical and administrative assistance could make research less effective. • Mechanisms for promotion and compensation that are not competitive could reduce scientific output. • As they have in the past, a time of stagnation could come after the actual period of intense expansion. • Fundamental research is undervalued in comparison to applied research. • Pressure to “publish or perish” may result in a particular publishing amount. • greater weight given to than to the quality of • not creating a policy-making process • The procedure that would adapt to the improvements in the research • Large integrated project priorities within Framework Programs |
Action 1:
THROUGH OUR INTERNAL PROCESSES AND POLICIES, PROMOTE COLLABORATIONS
1. Increase the results of collaborations by rewarding them with recognition and funding for things like research grants, patents, publications, and the selective external co-supervision of HDR students.
2. Maintain your support for a program for international collaboration and travel as well as distribution of research-specific information.
3. Support the needs of the visiting scholars.
4. Through international partnerships, exchange programs, and external cosupervision, increase the proportion of HDR students engaged in joint research.
5. As part of contract agreements, formalize adjunct assignments and incorporate contributions to the research culture and outcomes like coauthored publications.
Action 2:
IMPROVE OUR RECORD IN RESEARCH THROUGH OUR COLLABORATIONS IN RESEARCH
1. Create an integrated social media strategy and presence that highlights the research and faculty of TIU University.
2. Ensure that TIU University is highlighted in international marketing campaigns as a top-tier research school.
3. By hosting an annual Research Week, issuing an annual Research Highlights Report, hosting research seminars that are open to the public, and granting free access to publications and research data, we can continue to increase the amount of research that is presented to the community, industry, and government.
4. Through a public research portal, highlight the results of our research.
5. Recognize the significance of non-conventional research promotion, such as blogs and websites with a public audience.
Action 3:
RAISE RESEARCH PARTICIPATION
1. A research engagement plan can help academics interact with stakeholders and end users.
2. Give academics a way to track their engagement activities and submit reports about them via the Professional Development Review (PDR) procedure.
